HTML headache

Hi, guys! My day has been soooo boring – I’ve spent the whole day on my ass, making changes to the blog. After messing with HTML and CSS all day, my eyes are crossed and my head is throbbing. I’m disappointed it took as long as it did, because I was supposed to do some heavy furniture moving today in my bedroom. However, it’s probably good that I took the day off, because my arms and back are SCREAMING at me from yesterday’s demolition work.

As far as the blog goes, you’ll notice I added tabs with an “about me” section, a section outlining my history with weight loss and gain, and a section where I’ll link to recipes I’ve posted. They’re still a work in progress, so bear with me! Plus, changing the layout kinda mucked up the formatting in my posts, so text and pictures aren’t getting along like they should. I really like how everything is arranged now, so despite the formatting issues, I’m happy!
For lunch, I made one of my new staples – a “buffalo” ranch chicken salad.

For dinner, I had sautéed green beans, baked chicken, and steamed cabbage.

As well as not getting off my butt all day, I also don’t think I drank any water. I bought a gallon of diet sweet tea (made with Splenda) yesterday to take to the lakehouse, and I brought the rest home for myself. Aaaand I pretty much drank the rest today, along with some Coke Zero. I like having non-water drinks in the house, but when I do, I favor them over water. So once these are gone, I won’t be buying anymore for awhile. Though I did get some flavored seltzer last night, so I’m excited to try that!

I know this post totally sucked, but I wanted to check in and address the blog changes for those of you who read via feed delivery.

And just to further commit ourselves to it and hopefully pique some interest, Jenny from Color Hungry and I have got something interesting and thought-provoking on the horizon! I can’t wait to get it started!

I love Coke Zero!! The diet ice teas is yummy too! Anyway, sometimes change can be good and needed. Good luck on working on your blog...I have been too lazy to change mine. However wordpress makes it very simple and dont have to worry about coding. Thank God since I don't know that much about it

@Amanda - Coke Zero is my CRACK. I'm not a fan of how it makes me feel after I've drank an entire liter of it, but GAAAH it just tastes so good!

Blogger has themes you can choose from, but they're all so basic and boring, and none of them have 3-column layouts. So I went and found one from a site that provides free templates, and I tweaked it a bit. That's why I never moved over to wordpress - I don't think you can do all the coding and stuff on the free version like you can in Blogger

@Secretia - Thanks!! HTML and CSS are headaches, and when they go wrong, it's SUCH a pain in the ass. But when they go right, it's a great feeling!

We had a few friends over for Halloween and enjoyed some naughty treats. I made Candy Corn Jell-o Shots:Dirt cake with gummy snakes:Mummy dogs (I left out the cheese, and I should’ve cut their poor little arms a little longer):Pumpkin seed brittle:made from these guys’ innards:Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese icing:And of course we played Cards Against Humanity, as we do at all our social gatherings.So after the debauchery of this weekend, we’re getting back to basics with our cooking. I was a bottomless pit yesterday, and I know it’s because my body was so out of whack from the crap I fed it Friday (and some leftovers Saturday). It’s insane how “hungover” I feel after eating the wrong things (carby, salty, sugary, gluteny things). Today I was achy, puffy, depressed, and irritable among a host of other unsavory characteristics. I wish I could bottle up that feeling and take a small shot of it when faced with making poor eating decisions. I might make wiser choices if I could m…

This cute blue stone crock I just got from World Market makes everything taste better, not that my gumbo needed it, in my humble opinion. Sunday was spent taking down Christmas decorations and packing them all away. I’ve been bitten by the organizational bug lately, for better or worse, and am committed to getting rid of clutter and finding an appropriate place for everything. It felt good to take 4 giant boxes of stuff to Goodwill and finally get them out from under my nose – I’ve been working on those boxes for weeks!My eating habits were stellar last week, which makes my actions this past weekend all the more troubling. I pretty much binged on chocolate and ice cream Sunday evening – a rebound effect from eating sensibly during the week? A cry for help due to self-pity and loneliness? I have no idea, but I’ve journaled about it and hope to nip it in the bud next time I see myself headed in that direction. I did have wine Saturday night at a friend’s house and ended up eating…

After a nice walk at the park with the dude and dog……we went and bought ALL THE THINGS at the grocery store. It helps so much with both budget and diet when we make a big grocery trip at the beginning of the week.And that was probably half of it. For dinner tonight, I sautéed some onions and garlic with some yellow cherry tomatoes (they explode in then pan!) and added steam-in-bag green beans and balsamic vinegar.We had that alongside some leftover broccoli, some collards I cooked all afternoon, and steak with horseradish sauce while we watched We Are the Millers – pretty funny albeit predictable.I didn’t quite get everything done today that I’d hoped, but I still feel pretty accomplished. I got a giant pile of clothes put away and some arm-strengthening exercises done. Nothing brag-worthy though, so I’m going to write up an actual to-do list for this week so I can cross things off. I do so much better when I have a plan to stick to!
